Shouldn't the female be called a "Smooth"? Never mind. This is about the roving, rufous Ruff dubbed "Rofous". Of course that was someone's typo, but I like it and I'm going with it. Anyway, this is how he's looking these days (yesterday) -- http://www.stevewalternature.com/ at the birds, recent work link. The picture was taken from about 100 yards away, the closest one can seem to get to it. Not bad considering that, and probably a better look than I've gotten live (even with a scope).
